What method do YOU use to create your printable personal family calendar?

*What method do YOU use to create your printable personal family calendar?*
1. Do you have a program that creates a printable calendar? (this is best)
2. Do you have a Microsoft Office calendar template? (this would be nice)
3. Do you modify an existing calendar file? (this may work if it's editable)

I created a first-pass PDF calendar process but editing it is miserable:
o Windows Tutorial to annotate & print family calendar at home on 8.5x11 paper (please improve for all to benefit)
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.comp.freeware/RA3bLfsgtFg/h86eO3l8CQAJ

Seems to me there must be a better way to create a printable HOME calendar
that doesn't put our privacy on the Internet, and which uses free
Windows software tools sans ads, and which can be customized for family
personal events (such as birthdays and anniversaries).

As always, the goal is a general purpose solution, which usually means
o No payware
o No advertisements
o No logins of any kind (no need to store ANYTHING on the net)
etc.

I use Thunderbird with the Lightning addon. I works similar to MS
office. My wife and I exchange invitation to our events so both our
calender's are the same. It can also share events with MS Office.

When I want a hard copy of the calendar, I make the calendar full page,
full screen, do a screen print, and print it from an image processing
program.

I have a 5"x7", 6-ring notebook. I fill it with notebook paper
and create a 10-day schedule calendar periodically, using my
left pentadigit computer (I'm left-handed), a red colored pencil,
a ruler, and a pen.
I then put both personal and business appointments and notes
on that first page. The rest of the notebook is for job estimates,
phone numbers, errand lists, etc.

My notebook is the very latest thing. It costs about 1/500th
the cost of an iPhone and lasts 2-3 times longer. (Longer if
you get the optional duct tape.) There's no battery to charge.
There's no Apple spyware or Google spyware. There are no
spyware apps. And the interface is 100% customizable. It also
requires no computer and no printer. It's easily editable without
needing to use a 2" keyboard. And my pentadigit-based
calendar and planner will work without a hitch even during a
long power outage!

Caveats:

1) This method cannot be easily used by people with no hands.

2) If you want a "family" calendar to post in your kitchen then
you probably want a bigger notebook and might want to invest
in a greater variety of colored pencils so that you can draw cute
dog or cat cartoons in the corners.

Canvas local businesses, there will be at least one handling them out

Calendar Creator 12. Not really expensive and easily set up. Makes
calendars in many formats. Will keep up with birthdays (will print
"John Jones 42nd birthday" this year and next year print "John Jones
43rd birthday" if you desire. Also keeps up with anniversaries, etc.
Been using earlier version for years

I don't think it is necessary to apologize for your qx.

AGH is a very wordy reckless crossposter, but there are some small
redeeming 'qualities' among the negatives.

- many people use more than one system
- usenet groups are otherwise very inactive compared to the past
- reckless crossposting does bring some 'life'/activity into the groups
- linux users may have need for some kind of calendar print

The negatives a

- AGH does a terrible job of creating a new topic subject
- he didn't do a good job of creating a target goal in the first place
- the technic/ strategy/ for his calendar approach is terrible

Other than the point made above (that the "I'm sorry" was a rhetorical
device), I agree with everything you've written.

P.S. I *like* that this side-thread is posted to all the same (wrong)
groups that the original is posted to. I dislike it when people trim the
groups list.

Typically I trim the groups list immediately to the group where I read
the msg because I am a strongly opined anti-crossposter, and I don't
really want to change my behavior to that of being a reckless x-poster,
neither w/ initial message nor f/up message.

Right now we are *respecting* all of the groups that AGH x-posted to and
respecting his Subject; while I respect neither of those choices.

Mixing anti-x-posters w/ reckless x-posters is like mixing the trimming
inline context-oriented posters w/ untrimmed top posters. I don't
believe in x-posting except in very very limited situations nor do I
believe in untrimmed top or bottom posting.

So far, I'm continuing this x-post, but I don't 'like' its
off-topicality. Our 'meta' discussion has nothing to do w/ freeware,
XP, linux, or win10, so this is a _raging_ OT thread so far.

Linux people don't have families? Or do you mean that
Linux doesn't work with printers?

I'd recommend blocking Arlen and his various pseudonyms.
Then those of us who already do won't have to read pointless
complaints responding to inane posts.

pcal (unix and windows) works fine if you need that sort of thing.
